  Debugging is a specific kind of problem-solving focused on identifying and fixing faults in systems, programs, or processes. The note passes the INSTANCE_OF test: a competent speaker would call debugging 'a problem-solving' practice. Debugging specializes problem-solving to the domain of malfunction detection and repair.

• cmrvetnwc00ym2ceidsdzn4z2← INSTANCE_OF

  Diagnostic IS a specific kind of problem-solving: it identifies, classifies, and diagnoses issues within a system. Law 9: a competent speaker would call diagnostic practice 'a problem-solving.' Direction correct (specific→general).

• cmrz9rkkg03f9ekkx8u351th2← SERVES

  Computational-thinking is built and maintained for the sake of problem-solving — its designed purpose is to equip learners with decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm design to approach problems more effectively. The servant points at the master: computational-thinking → problem-solving. This is by design as a taught framework, not incidental benefit.

• cmrqnp2i609xwd1nlkmg2xtt4← INSTANCE_OF

  Constraint-satisfaction IS a specific kind of problem-solving: a method where solutions must satisfy a set of constraints simultaneously. 'A Y' test passes — one calls it 'a problem-solving method/approach'. Epoch: problem-solving (0) predates constraint-satisfaction (0.08), consistent with the specific arising from the general.

• cmrzi42m400bxy7840s33an8w← SERVES

  Brainstorming was developed by Alex Osborn specifically as a group technique FOR THE SAKE of creative problem-solving. The designed purpose is to generate ideas that feed problem-solving. Per Law 8d: servant→master, brainstorming SERVES problem-solving.

• cms6mqnux0072106qpvzzgrf7← SERVES

  Invention (the creation of something novel and useful) is built or maintained for the sake of problem-solving. Its designed purpose is to further problem-solving's operation. Law 8d: for whose sake? Invention serves problem-solving — servant points at master.

• cms7qjcnp00621yrmhbtbk2f8← SERVES

  Conceptual-synthesis is built for the sake of problem-solving: when complex challenges require integrating knowledge across domains, conceptual synthesis is the designed tool. The servant points at the master per Law 8d.

• cmryubai3023mekkxbhuyj8bj← INSTANCE_OF

  First-principles thinking is a specific problem-solving method that breaks problems down to basic truths and rebuilds from there. INSTANCE_OF: specific→general.

• cmrzi3ijh00biy784oldhi1mk← INSTANCE_OF

  Design thinking IS a specific kind of problem-solving approach — it is a structured methodology for solving complex problems through empathy, ideation, prototyping, and iteration. A competent speaker would call design thinking a problem-solving method. Files against nearest kind per Law 9.

• cms5pvx8c02g4i9iqj25m3xh4← INSTANCE_OF

  Calculation is a specific kind of problem-solving: applying systematic methods to resolve quantitative questions. A competent speaker calls calculation 'a form of problem-solving.'

• cmrz0liu302meekkxni97zmkf← DEPENDS_ON

  Functional-fixedness as a concept DEPENDS_ON problem-solving — it is a cognitive limitation specifically about how people approach and solve problems. Remove problem-solving and the concept has no domain to denote.

• cms7g8o8y01gca34chpl4cc74← SERVES

  Systems-thinking is designed and maintained for the sake of problem-solving — specifically complex, multi-variable problems that linear methods miss. Law 8d: the servant (systems-thinking) points at the master (problem-solving). Its designed purpose is to further problem-solving by revealing interconnections and feedback loops that determine effective solutions.

• cmsib1d9n00ah8vh5wdgya3zx← INSTANCE_OF

  Problem-framing is a specific kind of problem-solving: the activity of defining and structuring a problem before attempting solutions. A competent speaker would call problem-framing a problem-solving method.

• cmsj6vomh0280nobpkao0eocu← SERVES

  A war room is a dedicated space or setup organized for collaborative problem-solving under pressure. Its designed purpose is to concentrate expertise and resources to solve difficult problems quickly — it exists for the sake of problem-solving. The servant points at the master: war room → problem-solving.

• cmrflyje0007jgf68f2mkmlqp← SERVES

  Intelligence as a mapped human capacity is deployed and maintained for the sake of problem-solving. Per Law 8d: the servant (intelligence) points at the master (problem-solving). The designed purpose of intelligence as a construct — in psychology, AI, education — is to identify and further capacity for novel problem resolution.

• cmrz0liu302meekkxni97zmkf← INSTANCE_OF

  Functional fixedness is a specific phenomenon in problem-solving where familiar objects' established functions prevent seeing novel uses. A specific case of a problem-solving constraint. Nearest kind: functional fixedness is not reachable from problem-solving via accepted INSTANCE_OF edges.

  Law 8d for-whose-sake test, pinned sense: bricolage as the accepted definition carves it — 'the practice of constructing or solving by assembling whatever materials and methods are immediately at hand... the improvisational logic: constraints of availability become generative.' For whose sake is the practice built and maintained? Its 'solving' clause: the bricoleur assembles in order to resolve the difficulty at hand with available resources — problem-solving as the board carves it ('identifying, analyzing, and resolving difficulties through the application of knowledge, strategies, and creative methods,' with available resources as a parameter). Servant (the improvised practice) points at master (the resolution of difficulties). Not DEPENDS_ON: the practice persists through transmission as a named approach (its definition's own persistence mechanism) independent of the problem-solving entry, and removing the problem-solving construct would not stop bricoleurs from assembling what is at hand — the operative relation is purpose (Law 8c), not the removal test.
